Open tenders are also advertised on Find a Tender and Contracts Finder. Much of its buying runs through NHS Supply Chain frameworks and collaborative agreements. Clinical Procurement Specialists lead purchasing decisions across the Trust's sites. No contract exists without an official purchase order from the procurement department. Suppliers must register with Intellicentrics before visiting any department.
